Affordances, in design language, are way objects in the world are able to communicate about their function. How does the web itself, in the way it is built, provide these same cues and direction for open education? Learn about the architecture of course like DS106, Phonar, and many more open, connected courses.
"...Although we can connect and interact within both physical spaces and bounded online spaces, we cannot easily share what we are doing with a wider audience, nor can we invite our networks into our learning community. The message remains: what we do here is separate from all else we do. Formal learning is divorced from rather than integrated with informal learning practices and networks."
